I've used MobiPocket, Freda, and B&N, and like the HTC Reader the most.
Pros:
-pinch to zoom
-reflows automatically when pinch to zoom in or out
-very finger freindly
-consistent with HTC Sense GUI
-launches ePub and most foramts thru built-in reader
-really like it also launches your .pdfs thru Adobe reader.
-displays coverart of your books.

The HTc Reader was available as an extra TAB in HTC's Sense GUI, but the guys over at xda-devlelopers were abel to extract it as a standalone .cab. Here is the link to a post about it:

Check it out, you might like it for your HTc Touch Pro. I am using it with the HTC HD2 and enjoying it. But read the post on that link. There are some caveats depending on which devie you are using. For example, it may disable your HTC Sense notifications menu and revetr to the standards Windows mobile notification menu. Mainly cosmetic, but a little irritating.
